[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11080, member: 30"] i quite agree. we all tend to get complacent and typically things get short cut due to time or financial pressures. one way around this is compulsory courses. many industry have mandatory training (or you loose your license) and this really helps in keeping skill levels up. a lot of industries rot because people only do what they where taught 20-30 years ago even tho the situation has changed. its also not just the beeks, but also the owners/managers. there is a few outfits who are well known for dodgy practises and high afb losses. you can bet their staff will be re-educated after doing any courses. (assuming they are even allowed to attend a course). commercial only course would be good. quite a few beeks really dislike the heavy hobbyist side of the current courses and the promotion of doing poor afb practises because they are "special" in some way.
